This is my last project with the Super Secret Stashbusting box this week. I still have other items that I haven't decided how to use just yet. Thank you to Heather at DollarStoreCrafts for letting me participate in the random crafting experience. It's been a fun experience and we should all try to use what we have. Just think outside the box and you can come up with a project using random items that you have laying around the house!
Stashbusting Project 4:
Christmas Card Holder (I know.. wrong time of the year but I have been wanting to make one for so long, come Christmas time I never get around to it.)
Inside my stashbusting box I found a belt!
At first I thought what can I do with that? Then it came to me. I have been wanting to make a card holder for quite some time now. You could always make a sign or a banner with the belt if you wanted to instead.
So to start off I cut the belt using the Westcott Scissors to a length I thought was ideal for my card holder.
I then decided to adhere some ribbon (from my stash) down the center of the belt and at the top I tied the ribbon to the buckles.
Next, I used a Cheerio box and my Cricut machine to cut out the Noel Sign. First I used the cheerio box for the back of my sign, I cut it out and then repeated the cut with the red pattern paper. I adhered the red paper onto the cheerio box cut.
Next, I used my Cricut and cut out the Noel in green pattern paper and adhered it to the red paper.
(The Noel cut is from the Christmas Cartridge on the Gypsy)
Next, I used the Westcott brand x-acto knife that was included in the stashbusting box to cut out a rectangle piece from cheerio box cardboard. I adhered the green pattern paper to the cardboard and trimmed off the excess around the edges.
I adhered the two cardboard signs to the canvas belt. Then Noel sign on the front of the belt and the green rectangle to the back side of the belt. I decided to tie a bow to make the rectangle look kinda like a Christmas present.
Next, I used some clothes pins I had and mod podged the red pattern paper scraps onto them. I covered the top with Mod Podge as well. Trimmed off excess paper around the edges.
Once dry, I glued the clothes pins onto the back side of the green rectangle using Mod Podge and then when that was dry I finally added my Christmas cards!!
Hope you like my Christmas Card Holder and all the other Stashbusting projects this week! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
